Sorry, have to disagree Robert (I want prescription drugs to be free to everyone) Barry. If Gore (the radical environmental wacko, lying, dope smoking, delusional candidate is elected) we would only select supreme court judges who view the constitution as a "living breathing document", which needs to be interpreted based on their own biases. The constitution has provision for amending and changing it. And we should elect judges who don't desire to circumvent its processes. In a Gore White House the second amendment would be tossed aside and replaced with police confiscating firearms from house-to-house. Only the criminals would be armed in the utopian socialistic model of radical left-wing Democrats such as Al Gore. Additionally, the Kyote treaty would be shoved down our national throat, and we would be beholden to some two-bit dictator to produce enough energy for our booming economic machine which is feeding the world. The current oil crisis we face is directly related to the lack of ability to understand the importance of that national resource. You're right, our energy policy needs leadership and Gore/Clinton have shown none. Al Gore would just as soon see the oil companies in American dissapear, then work with them for our nations prosperity and future. When you've demogoged nearly every industry in American for the past 7 years, is it any wonder they can't lead. Leadership is about developing followship. Why would the oil industry want to follow Al Gore toward solving our long term energy demands? Further, the best thing for the market would be if we could invest a portion of our social security tax into it. This would ensure an entire new economic stimulus is available to fund new companies looking for capital formation. Investing a portion of our social security money into the stock market is the best thing for the market, the best thing for retirees, and the best thing for America. It's truly a win-win idea that anyone with half-a-brain would understand and recognize as terrific for America's prosperity and stock market. You want the stock market to soar? Just watch what happens when billions upon billions of dollars come pouring into the market that heretofore have been sucked up and wasted by beaucrats in Washington D.C. The important issue isn't whether someone gets a few more abortions or not. The important issues are America's financial health, America's education system, and an America having a leader aligned with true north principles of honesty, integrity, courage, decency and trust. Al Gore's policies and character are the antithesis of these needs. The case is growing clearer every day. We either want a government working like a nannie state dreaming up new ways to spend an ever higher and higher tax burden sucked from the electorate. Or, we want an America that trusts in the people enough to invest their own money, choose a school for their own children and spend the tax-surplus for the greater benefit of everyone. And a President that respects the people enough not to pretend an argument can be made toward the meaning of the word is. Michael
